Hypermobile Friendly Workouts
About
Eva has dedicated her career to helping others with hypermobility and hEDS find their way back to movement – not through force or generic fitness protocols, but through strategy, education, and true support. Eva has worked with dozens of hypermobile clients of all ages and abilities, helping them return to the activities they love, move through life with more confidence, and reduce the daily pain that comes from living in an unstable body. Eva has established two hypermobile-friendly businesses in the last 6 years. The first was The Line Method in 2019 – the only Pilates studio in Washington, DC to specialize in Hypermobility. In 2022, Eva created Fitness Foundations for Hypermobility, a focused Teacher Training Intensive, to give instructors structured and accessible techniques on training individuals with hypermobility disorders. It became clear to Eva that Hypermobile individuals all over the world were lacking accessible resources to build strength and support for their bodies. She launched Hypermobile Friendly Workouts – a fully virtual, hypermobility-specific training platform – to fill this void.
EDS Healthcare in New York
The NYIT EDS/Hypermobility Treatment Center operates in Old Westbury and Central Islip, offering specialized rehabilitation and treatment. Mount Sinai South Nassau Chiari EDS Center in Oceanside focuses on EDS with Chiari malformation. Weill Cornell provides pain management expertise. New York Medicaid covers genetic testing with prior authorization. Wait times at major programs can be 6 months or longer.
Both EDS Centers of Excellence are on Long Island, leaving upstate New York significantly underserved. Patients in Buffalo, Syracuse, Rochester, and the Adirondacks face drives of 4-6+ hours to reach these programs. Wait times of 6 months or more are common. Rural upstate access is very limited, and telehealth is important for follow-up care.
Finding Movement / Exercise for EDS
Look for instructors with specific hypermobility training who modify exercises to build strength within safe joint range rather than pushing flexibility.
